Book a Los Barriles Cottage

"Yes"

"The house is incredible and the views were amazing. We saw whales almost every day. The host and Lupi were great through the whole process."

"The studio apartment was very well provisioned. Everything you could ask for was provided. The bed was very comfortable! The property was a bit dated and the pool area could use some updates but that’s really nitpicking and not something the unit owner is responsible for. We enjoyed the short walk to the pickleball courts and the easy walk to the market and various restaurants. "

"On-time shuttle reserved through hotel, warm welcome at reception, very nice room for the money. The sliding glass door and bathroom windows did not have locks; the problem was never addressed despite multiple attempts; our security felt compromised though ultimately no issues with anything being stolen; stored highest value items in a secure safe. So… this resort is not operating on all cylinders. It’s mostly a staffing issue. Some staff provided exceptional customer service, some mediocre, and some very poor. For example, some front desk staff were not at all attentive or helpful. I was just trying to find out what the resort had to offer and didn’t get much help. Service was Extremely SLOW! Once you got your overpriced food, it was really good though. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning our room and was very friendly; they earned their tips! I had the best deep tissue massage that I ever had in my life here. The views from the room were amazing! The snorkeling was outstanding! We had a great day fishing on April 8th with Amberjack, Bonita, Whitefish, and a once-in-a-lifetime *bonus catch of a 150 pound marlin that was released to live another day. We won’t be returning to the resort until we hear that ALL of the staff are delivering exceptional customer service."

"House is very private Exactly what we we’re looking for "

"Well located property with excellent management. Opt for one of the larger poolside rooms. You can walk to great restaurants, coffee shops and the beach. Comfy beds and nice linens. Super value!"

"Firstly, I rarely review any business good or bad, but Hotel Palmas de Cortez was simply appalling. When checking in, the woman at the front desk would only cut us one key card for the room for 3 people. She said come back tomorrow if you want more. She was incredibly rude. When we got to the room, it was a dump. We had a Presidential suite and it was anything but! It was so run down and disgusting we went back to the front desk and asked for another room. We were subsequently shown room that was covered in more dust, had dead insects on the window sills, stunk of mold and didn't look as if it had been cleaned in months! We eventually stayed in the original room as we had no choice. We went out and bought cleaning products from the local supermarket and cleaned the room ourselves to where it was livable. Housekeeping only made the bed and folded the used towels. I deliberately left dust on one of the sofa arms to see if housekeeping would wipe it off during the 6 nights we were there - it was not! The overall hotel is tired and desperately in need of a facelift and someone who cares about the property. The restaurants on site were terrible however the staff at least were pleasant and helpful. The pool bar doesn't serve food - you have to get takeout! The gym was disgracefully filthy - couldn't use it! We've stayed at many properties in Mexico, some good, some bad, but nothing like this! The website portrays the hotel as something entirely different to reality. Stay away!"

"Excellent clean & well outfitteded flat in a friendly community. Everything we needed was close at hand."

"We just recently spent a week at this lovely casita. Waking up to the sun rising over the Sea of Cortez was awe inspiring. This is one of the few places we've rented where the pictures do not do this home justice. This is the perfect rental for a couple that prizes privacy. We will for sure be back...a perfect vacation! Lucy and Brian were wonderful hosts as well."
